It's really rare for film directors to be that interested in things other than themselves.
Alan Cumming
Image
I was horrified when Richard Chamberlain and Rupert Everett said gay actors should stay in the closet. They were saying to people that they should live a lie and not be liberated, to live in fear of being found out.
Alan Cumming
Image
He ... knew, in that instant, that his life would not be an easy one-he was different, he looked different, he thought differently.

With Urban Secrets, I just really liked the idea of wandering around chatting to people.

A sweaty Macbeth with blood on his arms coming in fresh from the battle doesn't interest me.

It's actually quite a good ethos for life: go into the unknown with truth, commitment, and openness and mostly you'll be okay.
